Chapter 95 Words Of Truth
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”Takashi…”
Kijima-senpai (Student Council’s assistant) is looking up at her boyfriend, Vice President Sogahara-senpai, holding her hand and whispering something softly.
I can’t see Kijima-senpai’s face, but they look like a sweet couple. However, Sogahara-senpai’s face is getting worse, and he’s starting to sweat a lot.
”Um, Tsuchimiya-kun…”
Amahara-senpai is holding my hand in front of her chest and talking to me. Because of the height difference, I have to look up at her.
”About earlier… um, the thing about talking to them before getting the surgery… I, um, want to be included in that…”
”Huh? You, Amahara-senpai?”
I was told by senpai that I should talk to Himeno about my Z plan, which includes a rocket punch. Now that I realize it might make Himeno really mad, I’m feeling nervous.
Unfortunately, the Z plan is going to be put on hold.
”Is that… not okay?”
Amahara-senpai looks worried and peeks into my eyes, looking a bit sorry.
Seeing her care so much about me makes me feel bad. I messed up earlier.
I was supposed to help Amahara-senpai relax by checking out the special zone, but I got distracted by the rocket punch and made senpai worry.
I need to be more careful. I’m reflecting on this.
”It’s fine. Actually, I’d like to include you. Well, I’m planning to give up on the rocket punch. I’m sorry for making you worry.”
I think it’s a bit too protective of her to offer this. The Z plan is on hold, but it would be rude to refuse her here.
”Really!?”
”Yeah, of course.”
Amahara-senpai looks surprised, then quickly seems relieved and can’t hide her happiness.
Hmm? Is her reaction a bit too much?
Did she think I would push forward with the Z plan even if it worried senpai?
”Thank you, Tsuchimiya-kun! Um, I look forward to working with you!”
”Ah, okay. Looking forward to it?”
Huh? It feels like we’re not on the same page.
What does she mean?
I’m so caught up in Amahara-senpai’s happy smile that I can’t think straight.
”Tsuchimiya-kun, Amahara-kun, let’s move on.”
”Yeah, right!”
Amahara-senpai responds to Sogahara-senpai and starts walking while still holding my hand.
* * *
”Shiori, about that conversation earlier…”
Sogahara Takashi leans closer to his girlfriend Kijima Shiori and whispers.
”Yeah. Karen probably wants to confess her feelings…”
Shiori replies quietly while keeping a little distance, following Amahara and Tsuchimiya.
”Yeah, I thought so. But it doesn’t seem like it’s getting through. Amahara-kun seems to think the confession went well. I’m glad we’re watching.”
Takashi glances back to check on them.
Amahara looks happy holding hands, while Tsuchimiya looks anxious and is avoiding eye contact.
”If we ignore the misunderstanding, Karen is getting bolder, and they’re getting closer. Let’s keep an eye on them for a while.”
”Well, I don’t think any guy would feel bad with Amahara-kun coming on to them. But Tsuchimiya-kun seems a bit nervous with her getting closer. He’s more likable than a guy who tries to grab a girl right away. He seems like he would take care of Amahara-kun.”
”Yeah, that’s true. Unlike some people, he’s a sincere guy.”
”Ugh…”
That was a bit of a boomerang. Takashi hurriedly tried to change the subject.
”Still, isn’t this getting a bit complicated?”
”I’ll explain the situation to Karen later. If nothing changes by the end, we’ll say that Tsuchimiya-kun gave us a hint during our earlier chat.”
”Really? Well, since we can’t afford to fail, I guess that’s the only option… I’ll talk to Tsuchimiya-kun later. It might seem like I’m pushing Amahara-kun onto him, but it shouldn’t be a bad thing for Tsuchimiya-kun.”
If it comes down to it, Takashi and Shiori will be witnesses, and we decided to move forward with the story that Tsuchimiya accepted the confession.
* * *
I feel uneasy. Amahara-senpai’s warm right hand is holding my left hand tightly.
Sogahara-senpai and Kijima-senpai in front are also holding hands and leaning against each other, making it look like a double date.
I wonder if Sogahara-senpai is okay with this.
If I saw Himeno holding hands with another guy, I wouldn’t feel calm at all.
Just then, Sogahara-senpai glanced back at us. For a moment, I saw his side profile that looked like he wanted to say something.
This situation feels off. I need to do something before I get in trouble.
Then I realized I was also holding Amahara-senpai’s hand tightly.
Now I can’t let go Amahara-senpai either. Could this be my fault?
Get a grip, me.
Feeling the warm touch pulling me back, I slowly start to open my hand. Amahara-senpai is still holding onto mine.
”Um… Amahara-senpai.”
”Oh, yeah…”
When I nudged her, Amahara-senpai opened her hand, but our fingers got tangled together.
We evolved into a couple’s hold!
Wait, am I holding Amahara-senpai’s weakness too!?
Considering the relationship between the Student Freedom Alliance and the Student Council, maybe this is a kind of negotiation… right?
I looked at Amahara-senpai in surprise, but she turned away and wouldn’t meet my eyes. It feels like I’m unintentionally threatening her, which is not good.
”Amahara-kun, which way should we go next?”
Sogahara-senpai asked as they turned around at the intersection.
”Let’s go back to the main street. We should check out the places where a lot of students pass by first.”
”Got it.”
Following Amahara-senpai’s lead, Sogahara-senpai took the left path.
The main street ends in a T-junction, and we’ll head towards the right side.
Even though Amahara-senpai and I are holding hands, Sogahara-senpai and Kijima-senpai don’t react at all, which makes me feel even more anxious and suspicious.
What is this situation? If other students see Amahara-senpai holding hands with some guy they don’t know, it could cause a scene. Is this really okay? What if this gets back to Himeno!?
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Himeno? staring at us through the glass of a boutique window, and I turned around in shock.
But all I saw were beautifully dressed mannequins, and no one was there.
Was it just my imagination…?
I thought I saw a faint handprint on the glass from Himeno, and my heart started racing.
”Tsuchimiya-kun, is something wrong?”
”Huh? No, I’m fine. It’s nothing… really.”
That was just a trick my weak heart played on me… it has to be!
”I see… that’s good. But hey, you look a bit pale…”
Amahara-senpai leaned in with a worried look.
”I’m just a bit sleep-deprived, it’s no big deal.”
”Hehe. Actually, I couldn’t sleep much either because I was looking forward to today. So, Tsuchimiya-kun, you too…”
Amahara-senpai’s face turned red, and her eyes narrowed.
I can’t deny it anymore. This is a maximum affection face.
How did it come to this!?
I have a feeling about this. I’ve saved Amahara-senpai a few times, so there’s no way she thinks badly of me.
But still, can Amahara-senpai really fall for someone so easily? It feels like there’s some kind of trap here…
Amahara-senpai is the Student Council President and is called the most beautiful girl in the Academy. She’s Sogahara-senpai’s girlfriend, and here I am, a level 1 introverted otaku with 3 girlfriends from Evold already, which is way too much for me.
Now Nishina-san and Satou-san are getting added to the mix, and everything feels really crazy.
It seems like things are heading in a really bad direction fast.
First, I need to sort out the situation. Maybe I’m just jumping to conclusions because she seems to like me, but let’s say, just say, Amahara-senpai actually likes me. The problem is that she’s Sogahara-senpai’s girlfriend, and that makes me doubt everything.
I haven’t confirmed it, but it seems like there aren’t any other guys who match Amahara-senpai.
Since she’s part of Evold, it’s natural to think she has a partner. I think it’s likely she’s with Sogahara-senpai, but just because they’re in Evold doesn’t mean they’re dating.
In Evold, it’s normal to have multiple partners. Thinking that Amahara-senpai, who seems so serious, would only have one partner is probably just my fantasy since I’m not in Evold.
If Amahara-senpai isn’t dating Sogahara-senpai, then I won’t have to worry about getting my head taken off by Sogahara-senpai if I let my guard down. This is something I need to check carefully.
And the worst-case scenario is if Himeno sees me holding hands with Amahara-senpai.
I can’t even imagine what would happen, but just thinking about Himeno standing behind me makes my knees shake.
By the time I realize it, I might already be in trouble.
If it were an assassin from Demiurge, I could accept that I just wasn’t strong enough. But if it’s Himeno, I feel like I want to run away from here right now because I’m so scared.
”Tsuchimiya-kun, you really look pale. If you’re not feeling well, just let me know.”
Amahara-senpai leans in closer, looking worried as she checks my face.
I can feel her soft arm pressing against mine. The blazer is getting in the way.
No, wait!
Don’t think, just feel!
No, that’s not good either! What do I do if I feel something?
I want to avoid the embarrassing moment of getting caught by Himeno while I’m… you know.
”I’m really fine. It’s strange, right? Do I look sick? I think I’m just a bit nervous.”
It’s not just a bit; my nerves are completely focused on Amahara-senpai’s touch and the feeling of someone behind me. I feel like I’m trapped in a sweet but deadly trap.
”I’m nervous too, but I didn’t think you would be nervous, Tsuchimiya-kun. You always seem so calm and unbothered.”
”That’s not true! I can’t stand up to you, and I’m just a normal high school guy. Even now…”
Honestly, I’m really enjoying being close to Amahara-senpai, but the situation feels so tense that I might throw up.
”Hehe, it makes me happy to see you nervous, Tsuchimiya-kun.”
Amahara-senpai tightens her grip on my hand and leans against me, making it hard to walk. This means that even if I sense danger, it’ll be tough to avoid it.
I feel like I’m in the ocean with a shark, completely submerged and throwing out bait.
”Sogahara-kun, should we take a break?”
”Yeah, it’s almost lunchtime. Let’s grab a light meal somewhere.”
Sogahara-senpai responds to Amahara-senpai’s suggestion.
Once we step onto the main street, it opens up, and since there aren’t many students around, it feels really quiet.
After walking a bit, I spot a café with tables set up on the sidewalk.
”How about there?”
”Yeah. It feels nice and open, Sogahara-kun.”
Sogahara-senpai checks with everyone. I don’t have any objections.
When I sit down, I decide what to order from the menu that’s on the table.
”Okay, I’ll go order.”
”No, I’ll go.”
Kijima-senpai stands up, but I think it’s better for me, the kouhai, to go.
”Oh, Tsuchimiya-kun, you just relax. Karen, let’s go.”
”? Oh, okay.”
Amahara-senpai looks a bit confused, but she quickly stands up and heads to the store with Kijima-senpai. The door opens, and a waitress comes out to take orders, but the 3 of them go inside.
I don’t feel like I should be the one to step up here.
* * *
”What!? He didn’t get it!?”
Amahara Karen is shocked.
After they enter and finish ordering, Kijima Shiori asks the waitress if they can use a table inside the store.
”I can’t believe it… I tried so hard… But I thought I got Tsuchimiya-kun’s okay…”
”I think you were a bit too indirect. Tsuchimiya-kun just agreed to letyou join the conversation, Karen.”
Shiori smiles and tries to explain the situation gently.
”Oh, wait… So, from Tsuchimiya-kun’s point of view, did I suddenly get too friendly and make him uncomfortable? I held his hand thinking it was okay since we’re dating, but was he acting weird because of that? What should I do now!?”
Karen’s face goes from pale to red, and she buries her head in her hands.
There are no other customers in the store, and only soft music plays, so their voices echo. The waitstaff pretend not to listen while watching the two of them with smiles.
”Tsuchimiya-kun is confused, but he doesn’t seem to mind too much. If you think of it as getting closer, that’s a good sign. If you suddenly pull away now, it might look suspicious. Let’s keep going like this.”
”Is it really okay? What if Tsuchimiya-kun doesn’t like it? He might think I’m a pushy girl for doing this when he has a girlfriend…”
”Higurashi-san says she’s still looking for members for the harem, so it should be fine. Right now, Takashi is checking how Tsuchimiya-kun feels, so if there’s any problem, he’ll stop it, but I think you’ll be okay, Karen. Just be confident.”
Karen lifts her head and looks at Tsuchimiya’s back through the glass, feeling hopeful.
* * *
When Kijima-senpai and Amahara-senpai get up, I’m left at the table with Sogahara-senpai.
Sogahara-senpai looks at me with his usual kind smile. This is my chance. I need to ask now.
”Um… Sogahara-senpai, are you dating Amahara-senpai?”
I gather my courage to ask, and Sogahara-senpai looks a bit surprised.
”What are you talking about? I’m all about Shiori.”
”Oh, really?”
I’m more surprised that he said he’s only into Kijima-senpai than that he’s not dating Amahara-senpai.
”I thought Sogahara-senpai had a harem. I figured all the girls in the Student Council could be your girlfriends.”
”Haha, I’ve been dating Shiori for 2 years, but couples who started dating before Evold tend to have strong possessiveness from the girl. Shiori is no exception, so I doubt I’d get permission for that. Plus, I wouldn’t want to date someone from the Student Council I work with.”
Well, it’s true that having a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship within the Student Council organization could lead to familiarity and make it difficult to make tough decisions. It’s not uncommon to hear about organizations collapsing due to entanglements between men and women. It’s probably a resolution not to mix public and private affairs.
”Shiori has a sharp intuition and a high information collection ability. When I tried to seduce a member of the Discipline Committee and Beautification Committee, it was exposed the very next day, and I was very surprised. You can think of the inside of the Student Council as an open secret.”
What a terrible reason!
”Umm… didn’t you just say you were devoted to Kijima-senpai?”
I asked in confusion, and Sogahara-senpai tightened her expression.
”A-Anyway, what do you think of Amahara-kun, Tsuchimiya-kun?”
”S… she’s a very charming woman.”
The conversation has suddenly veered off topic, but it’s strange for me to pursue it. Besides, this is the main point.
”I’m sure she is. She’s one of the women everyone at the Academy admires. You probably know that Amahara-kun has feelings for you, right?”
”Y, yeah. But I already have three girlfriends…”
”NO! That’s not what I mean, Tsuchimiya-kun! How do you feel about her?”
Sogahara-senpai, who is usually gentle, becomes stern.
”When you ask me how it is… Sogahara-senpai, you have a precious girlfriend, Kijima-senpai, right? If Amahara-senpai has feelings for Sogahara-senpai, what would Sogahara-senpai do if he was in that situation?”
”Well, I love Shiori! She’s more important to me than anyone else! But that’s that! This is this! If there’s a wonderful woman in front of you, don’t you think it’s a man’s responsibility to make her smile unconditionally?”
”……!”
Wow… the content is terrible, but the intensity makes it sound like a great thing!
What an amazing person! Are you sure, Kijima-senpai, that this is the right person for you?
”Amahara-kun has been in love with you since the First Dive. But after you disappeared for a week and entered the Death List, and then Amahara-kun being sent to another world as the Student Council president, she was quite weakened. On top of that, even though she’s an Evold, she refuses to make a partner.”
”E, does that mean…”
”That’s right. According to Ukita-kun, Amahara-kun is still a virgin. Her unique sexual desire should be eroding her mind. If this continues, Amahara-kun will eventually collapse. Yet, she locks herself in her room, not allowing anyone, except Ukita-kun, to approach her during her private time. She probably let you into her room for the first time, Tsuchimiya-kun. So, we can probably guess who cursed her and who can break the curse.”
”That’s heavy! It’s much heavier than I imagined!”
Is it my fault that Amahara-senpai is weakened?
I do regret being out of touch for a week, but for Amahara-senpai, it was two weeks.
”Today, I feel like I saw Amahara-kun’s smile for the first time in a long time. I just hope she continues to smile. But, Tsuchimiya-kun, you don’t have to take it seriously. Amahara-kun fell in love with you on her own, so you have no responsibility. The important thing is whether you want to have s*x with Amahara-kun or not.”
Please don’t summarize with such a terrible line at the end! Of course, I want to have s*x with her!
”It’s about time for our food to arrive. I’m going to the bathroom.”
Sogahara-senpai said what he had to say and left his seat.
I, who was left behind, was half dazed and thinking.
The important thing is whether you want to have s*x with Amahara-kun or not…
No, that’s not it. I don’t deny that I want to have s*x with her, but that’s not the point.
It seems that my selfish actions have unknowingly caused Amahara-senpai suffering. I feel sorry about that.
If Amahara-senpai said she liked me, I would be happy without hesitation. But I feel somehow arrogant when I mix in feelings of wanting to “help her” or “accept her” from above.
This is probably due to my heart’s weakness, which wants to justify itself, and the essence is…
Still, the important thing is whether you want to have s*x with Amahara-kun or not…
No, that’s what I’m saying! I feel like I’ve become a terrible person, so please stop!
If I were to consider ethics, it would be pointless to think about it with three girlfriends already.
In that sense, I can accept Amahara-senpai, but I can’t ignore the feelings of Himeno and the others. After all, it’s not something I can decide on my own.
Besides, there’s a physical problem. As a Level 1, I don’t have the ability to satisfy my Evold girlfriends. If, as a result, not only Amahara-senpai but also Himeno and the others feel dissatisfied…
──But the important thing is whether you want to have s*x or not!
So, that’s it!
”Tsuchimiya-senpai.”
”Eek!?”
Suddenly, when my name was called, I looked down and made eye contact with Himeno, who was looking up at me from under the table.
That’s Nishina-san’s usual spot!
The surprise and fear were so great that my scream got stuck in my throat, fortunately. I was sweating, thinking I might have wet myself, but it seemed I was safe.
”Hi-hi-Himeno… why…?”
”Tsuchimiya-senpai. You don’t have to worry about us.”
”Eh…”
Himeno peeked out from between my legs and looked straight into my eyes with her sincere gaze.
”I understand that Amahara-senpai truly likes Tsuchimiya-senpai. That person fell in love with Tsuchimiya-senpai on the same day as me. And that person also knows the same pain as me. I… I want that person to be rewarded. I think Kanon-chan feels the same way. So… so, please do as you wish, Tsuchimiya-senpai.”
”Himeno…”
I couldn’t look away, drawn into Himeno’s beautiful blue eyes.
I’ve gotten a little used to it, but I still feel intimidated by her beauty when I look directly at her.
That’s right. I decided to be with Himeno because, ultimately, I wanted to have s*x with her. I was afraid and felt sorry for such a reason, so I ran away, but in the end, I accepted it, and my feelings caught up later.
Himeno accepted all of me and made me realize it. In reality, it feels more like I’m being used than using her.
”In return, please grant my wish.”
”W-wish?…”
”Yes! I also want to go on a date with Tsuchimiya-senpai!”
Himeno said that with a slightly sulky face.
”Yeah… I see, you’re right.”
Come to think of it, I never thought of going on a date with Himeno, even though we’re together.
The fact that this is another world is probably a reason too. I was just thinking about training and diving into dungeons whenever I had time.
I didn’t have anything else to do, but this special zone is actually a regular date spot.
”I also want to go on a date with just the two of us, Himeno. I’ll try to make time as soon as possible. Sorry, for being such an immature boyfriend.”
I should also go on a proper date with Kanon and… well, Higurashi too.
”No! Tsuchimiya-senpai is the best boyfriend ever!”
I placed my hand on her fluffy hair, and Himeno narrowed her eyes and rubbed her face against my crotch.
This is a dangerous picture.
*Tinkle*, the bell attached to the door rang, and when I turned around, the senpais were leaving the store with their trays.
Huh? This is dangerous, isn’t it? The street is wide and open, with no place to hide.
I looked under the table in a panic, but Himeno was nowhere to be found.
Hey, are you a ninja or something? I didn’t know thieves had skills like this.
I felt a chill run down my spine, like I couldn’t escape Himeno’s watchful eyes no matter where I was.
Sogahara-senpai quickly walked around the table and sat down right in front of me.
”Looks like you’ve gotten over it. You have really good eyes now, Tsuchimiya-kun.”
Sogahara-senpai smiled brightly.
I stood up to match the timing of Amahara-senpai and Kijima-senpai arriving late.
Amahara-senpai, holding a tray, met my gaze and nervously looked away, hunching her back.
As I pulled out a chair for her, I couldn’t help but admire her amazing figure and beauty, which was different from Himeno’s. Amahara-senpai smiled happily and thanked me as she took her seat.
Since Amahara-senpai is quite a bit taller than me, I felt a little awkward, but I decided not to let it bother me.
I should just be honest about my feelings.
Sogahara-senpai, I want to have s*x with Amahara-senpai!
